A house towed to its new location in 1966 is said to be haunted by a herbalist who is said to have accidentally overdosed his assistant resulting in their death,
whom subsequently took their own life plagued by guilt.
His ghost is said to remain. Part of the Chemist shop can be seen when looking above what is now New Look. It is said the apothecary haunts the area still feeling guilty for the accidental loss of life.
Many reports were made, particularly when the building was the Littlewoods department store, of sightings and
poltergeist types of phenomena.
Many witnessed the whole property being towed up the street in 1966. There are some websites displaying photographs actually capturing the event.
Behind the scenes.
Many thanks to James for supplying us with the picutre of part the interior of the Apothecary shop.
